1. The above picture is called Main street. Selma, Alabama. It was taken from the Farm Security Administration - Office of War Information Photograph Collection. It was taken in Selma, Alabama in December 1935. It was taken by Evans, Walker.
2. The setting of this photograph is outdoors in the afternoon because it is still light out. This is an urban setting because it is Main Street.
3. In this photograph, there are about nine people walking down the street. On the right, there are what looks like two teenagers standing on the side. You can't really tell the other people's ages but they look around their 30's. It is hard to tell but i believe that all the people in this photograph are white. The thing that catches my eye first is the wagons in the very front.
4. The buildings in the photograph are buisnesses and the conditions of the buildings look good. There is not much space between these buildings.
5. The tone of this photograph to me is that it is a light photograph because there is not much controversies in it. This photograph is also positive and light because there is no discrimination or other bad things. It is just a photograph.
6. I believe this photograph is a positive one. It is positive and not negative because it shows a lot of different things but it also shows very little. It doesn't show racism, or for that matter, anything wrong in the world.
7. 1) Why did you take this picture in the first place?
2) Why did you take the picture from this angle? Why not from the other side of the street?

1. The above picture is called Hoeing. Alabama negro tenant farmer and part of his family. Eutaw, Alabama. It was taken from the Farm Security Administration - Office of War Information Photograph Collection. It was taken in Eutaw, Alabama in July 1936. It was taken by Lange, Dorothea.
2. The setting of the photograph is outside in the daytime; around mid-morning. The setting is a rurl place because it is a farm and there are no farms in big cities.
3. There are two people; a man and a woman, around their 30's or 40's. These African Americans are wearing old fashioned clothing. What catches my eye first is the man because he is closer.
4. There are no structures in this photograph; only rows of crops.
5. The tone of this photograph is kind of heavy, negative, and dark.
6. I say this photograph is heavy, negative, and dark because it has a deeper meaning than just what the picture shows. The deeper meaning is that African Americans have to do the back breaking labor while most white people work in stores and offices.
7. I would ask the people in the photograph this: 1) Does the back breaking work you are doing pay well?
2) If not, why don't you just quit and get a better job.

1. The above picture is called Street scene in Greensboro, Alabama. It was taken from the Farm Security Administration - Office of War Information Photograph Collection. It was taken in Greensboro, Alabama in May 1941. It was taken by Delano, Jack.
2. The setting of this photograph is outdoors in the afternoon because it is still light out. This is an urban setting because there is a store in the backround.
3. In this photograph, there are three people talking. These African American men look to be older gentlemen due to what they look like and their canes. The thing that catches my eye first is the first man with the white cane..
4. The building in the photograph are buisnesses and the conditions of the buildings look good. There is not much space between these buildings or at least that is what i think. The men are sitting in front of a store.
5. The tone of this photograph to me is that it is a light photograph because there is not much controversies in it. This photograph is also positive and light because there is no discrimination or other bad things. It is just a photograph.
6. I believe this photograph is a positive one. It is positive and not negative because it shows a lot of different things but it also shows very little. It doesn't show racism, or for that matter, anything wrong in the world.
7. 1) I would like to know what these gentlemen are talking about.
2) I would ask the photographer why he took this picture in the first place.

1. This is a picture of the army quaters in Selma, Alabama. It is in Craig Feild and is a Southeastern Air Training Center. It was taken in August of 1941 bye John Collier.
2. The setting of the picture is outdoors during the day. I know this because it is still light outside.
3. There are not any people in this picture, but what caught my attention was how there is just open land with a small house on the side of it. Also, there are two cars and longs buildings.
4. The structure of the bulidings in this picture is small and kind of run down. the picture closest to you is small and looks white. There are two other bulidings in the background. They are long when wood on them.
5. This picture has a light tone but I think is negeative. It's light but is not giving off a positive vibe.
6. This picture is not giving off a positive energy. I think it's negeative because its deserted and no one is in it. It's alittle scary that there are only two cars in the picture with a house and two other buildings.
7. Two questions I would ask the photographer about this picture is why he took it and why no one is in the picture.
1. This picture was also taken in Craig Feild at the Southeastern Air Training Center in Slema, Alabama. John Collier took the picture in 1941.
2. The picture was taken outdoors during the day. Its in the training center so it isn't rural or urban.
3.In the picture there are 7 cadets coming out of what looks like a dining hall. Aroung them there are other cadets sitting underneathe the overhang of the building. What catchs my eye first is the cadets walking out of the hall.
4.There is only a dining hall in the picture and it looks like it is in alright conidition.
5.The tone of the picture is light and its positive. The lighting is light.
6.The picture is giving off a positive vibe because the cadets are walking out of the dining hall and look happy.
7. I would ask the photographer if it was hard for him to get an action shot of the cadets walking out and also why are there other cadets under that overhang of the hall.
1. This picture was taken in the Negro section of Eutaw, Alabama. The setting of the photo is outdoors and is in what looks like a rural area. It is during the day.
2. The setting of the picture is outside. It's daytime and the picture is in rural part of the town.
3. There are two people in the picture. One is a woman standing on the front porch of ther house, and the other is a little boy sitting on the porch. Thier clothing looks tattered and worn out. The woman standing is what catchs my eye first.
4. There is a house in the picture that is run down and doesn't look very stable.
5. The picture is light and it gives off a negeative and positive vibe. The picture if light on one side and dark on the other.
6. The picture is giving off both a negeative and positive vibe because where the polls with wires are the sky is very very light, then when you look at the house with the women and her son on it, it gets very dark.
7. Who are the people in the picture, and why is it two different colors.

The photograhper is Delano, Jack, this picture shows a hidden road from a farn near by leading into the local highway. This hidden road was in Devon, Conneticut.
This picture was taken from outdoors during the mid-afternoon and it looks like the sun was shinning brightly. This place looks like rurl.
There are people but they are in the cars. The thing that catches my eyes first is that car sticking out of the bushes.
This picture does not show any houses or businesses. The condition of the road was rough and the sides of the road is breaking off. The spacing for this road was like you can only drive one car at a time. The surrondings of the picture was full of trees and bushes on the side of the road.
The picture is light, positive, and the day is light.
These questions were quite reasonable, because they helped me think about the picture then just look and go away.
The questions I like to ask the interviewer are:
Why were you fasinated by the hidden pathway?
Couldn't you just took the picture across from the hidden driveway?

Drought refugees from Chickasaw, Oklahoma. Three families traveling together. They can't travel because of lack of money for trailer license. Near Santa Maria, California. Lange, Dorothea, photographer.
The setting of this story looks like the people are in the middle of some kind of road and camping there. This picture was taken outside. The picture looks like it's day time and it is light. This place is absolutely rurl.
In this picture there are three people as far as I can see. I think the ages of these people are like in the mid 30's-40's. I think there is one child in that picture, by the looks of it that child would be around 10 or so. The people look like they're white. The distinguishing feature is that they are living outside on a road of some kind. The tent catches my eyes first, because it is big.
The aren't any houses or businesses in this picture at all. The condition of this picture looks like some rurl place that was abandend for a long time. The space that the people had, was a lot. Well I guess if your living in a rurl plave means you surrondings are trees and bushes (dead).
The tone of this picture is light, because there aren't much stuff going on. The picture tells me in a negative way, because it tells me that when people are poor or people who lack money can't travel because of no trailer money. This picture looks to me like a dark impact.
The responses are pretty good to compare it to the picture and a 'picture can tell a thousand words'.
